Michael Eavis...

[Sam.]

Festival organiser Michael Eavis revealed to Q that he secured Springsteen, a long-time Glastonbury target, after sending him a handwritten letter. “It was one of my most passionate [letters],” he said in the new edition of Q, which goes on sale tomorrow.

“My daughter Emily liked it so much she asked me to rewrite it and have it framed for her. I think [springsteen’s appearance] will be one of the biggest festival moments of all time.”

He's so bloody great his daughter is asking him to frame his own words. Stinks of arrogance.

Please leave all Eavis snipes at the door before you enter.

You should know that even his doo doo smells of pot pouri.

I think he was probably touched by the love and support of his daughter.

And what father wouldn't be?

[dtburke]

I'm sorry?

Lame thread.

[Sam.]

But why is he telling us about how good he is at writing, like, that he's THAT good that his daughter wants him to frame it.

I did think it was arrogant, now it just makes me wanna tell him to man up, soppy bugger

Because it shows how passionate he was about getting Bruce to play at his festival, its better than sending an email to him saying "fancy playing at ours in june brucey?" isnt it?

Tell me, why exactly are you going to Glastonbury? If I was going to stay at someones house I wouldn't spend the whole time before slagging them off. it just seems a bit rude.

[The Nal]

Because I wanna listen to music? Not so I can say I've slept at Michael Eavis' house...

[benisright]

And you'll get to listen to Springsteen as a result of his letter. Musical choice improved. One of the biggest headliners hes ever got, so hes framing it.

Problem is what exactly....???

Well done Michael, a great signing for you, only topped by The Nals attendance at Glasto 09.

[tylerdurden]

yeahh how arrogant of him, just giving a bit of an insight of how he got a huge international superstar that doesnt play festivals to play his.

in fact, its insultingly arrogant, lets f**king boycott him.

Sam. thinks bruce doesnt deserve to be at the festival and a younger act should be headlining.

[benisright]

Woah hold on, in this case benisWRONG.

I have never once said Bruce doesn't deserve to be headlining, I have critisized the lack of a younger headliner in the past, but of late I have been saying I will be going to see Bruce.

So don't put words into my mouth thank you please

And I shall do some good ole Michael Eavis research now, so that i'm nicer, on the muels advice

[Sam Crawley]

Given the acts that he's pulled to Glasto over the years, this must be a special letter to make it on to the walls between the Diary Board Certificate of Hygiene and the CND poster! I think it's great that a personal letter from ME got Bruce involved - presumably usually it's just corporate promoters sending Outlook invites or similar. Also I agree: Sam, why all the ME hate? Isn't it your first Glasto this year? Save it for afterwards (if a week of the Pilton Parallel Universe doesn't change the way you think)..
